Post Re: How Fear Mongering Has Benefited You

Again, you fail to notice a difference inbetween the "fear mongering" you ADVOCATE, and the examples you bring forth.

You talk about "lock and key" and locking up valuables.
But isn't that an INDIVIDUAL'S CHOICE to do so???

By analogy, YOU are asking that OTHER PEOPLE give up their right to privacy and right to a warrant requirement.
By analogy, you would demand that "locks and keys" be required by ALL people, so that NOBODY has the choice as to whether or not to lock something up or not.

Or how about this for another analogy.
Smoking kills. It's a health hazard.
By analogy, based on your "fear mongering" approach, shouldn't we outlaw cigarettes?

Obviously that WOULD "benefit" people in society, wouldn't it?

Quit giving examples which involve NO involuntary sacrifice of personal rights and freedoms and pretending that proves your point.
The fact that you AVOID such examples demonstrates your own position's weakness.

You want to wire-tap?
GET A WARRANT. THEN it is legal.
